I'm not sure if this is the right section, but it seemed like it.
Anyway, I have an HTC Inspire and I've been thinking of getting a Samsung Galaxy S 2, but I'm not sure if I should get it, or if I should wait until I can get an LTE phone. What do you think?

You could get the Galaxy Note instead
You could also wait for the Nexus Prime
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
There's no doubt the Galaxy SII is an awesome phone.. And while my vote would be to pick one up, the Nexus Prime is around the corner like EmoBoiix3 mentioned.
Then again if you keep waiting for the next phone to be released you'll be waiting forever.
Is the Galaxy Note a phone or tablet?? It said it was like 5.3 inches or something like that...
And will the Nexus Prime or the Galaxy Note be on AT&T?

The Galaxy Note is a big phone .
I'm not sure about the American operators though .
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
I read somewhere that it would be coming to America on AT&T 3G/4G bands...How far away is the Note and the Nexus Prime? Also, do you think 450 shipped is a good price for the GS2? I'm not sure if it is, because if I wait a little while, the price will probably go down a good amount.

I would suggest finding an HTC HD2...the US version. You'll never get bored with it and you'll be able to run a great many different OSes on it. Trade you GS2 for one of those.
galaxy 3 is rare, so I suggest you keep it. Samsung only released galaxy 2 so you have a one of a kind device.
I think your confused. mine is a galaxy 3. Not a galaxy S3. mine is otherwise known as a gt-i 5800 apollo. It was bought at cpw about three months ago.

Should I wait until the Galaxy Nexus comes out or should I sell my G2x right now and use that money to buy a Samsung Galaxy S2? I also heard the Samsung Galaxy S2 HD recently came out in South Korea; however, I do not know when it is coming to the US. I just hope I can sell my G2x for at least $300.

Depends completely on what you're looking for. All in all, however, by the time it actually comes out (I'm guessing at least April), I'd say the S3. Vastly improved specs, rumors of waterproofing, ICS (though soon outdated by Jellybean, so if you're looking to stay updated your best bet is still to stick with that Nexus). Battery life might be an issue.
However, the above assumes that both devices are out. If, on the other hand, you're asking whether to get a GN now or a SG3 later, this does not rule out the former by a long shot. GN has its own advantages (in particular being "futureproof") and it's just a matter of how long you feel like waiting.

Interesting considering the SGSIII doesn't exist yet.
OP, as the poster above said, it depends what you're looking for. You really have to give more details... and when it comes down to it, why are you letting other people make your choice for you. A smartphone/tablet is a very personal device, and no 2 people are the same.
but Samsung Galaxy S III not-released
i think, better is Galaxy S III
We sitting in the same boat, which my case like this
XeactorZ said:
Hi all, previously I was decided to buy Samsung Galaxy Nexus
but due to some stupid reason (too expensive) by my parents which don't let me buy Samsung Galaxy Nexus
which need me get good result in order in order to buy new phone (any price that I want)
if now then the price is totally can't even get Samsung Galaxy S II
so, back to the question which is same as title
and since gonna got MWC event after 2days, and sure got new phone announce
and also for the upcoming Samsung own event on 15th March, which maybe announce Samsung Galaxy S III
at the end, is it worth to wait those phone that announce either in MWC / Samsung Galaxy S III (act it as got this phone)
but if wait also need wait to release, then those Samsung, HTC, LG, and other officially bring in to my country, which not the unit from other country which called as original set
so, let's say if I successfully convince my parents to let me buy Samsung Galaxy Nexus now because I eyeing since last year December
and when gonna buy, know the price and say too expensive, ask me to wait it to drop, lol even now Samsung Galaxy S II at my country also more expensive that the budget they set for me (although is using my own money to buy, but is my parents controlling my price)
if you are facing this situation, you choose to get the Samsung Galaxy Nexus now or wait those phone announce in MWC / Samsung own event which will at least wait few month to reach your country ???
*please vote then leave comment and tell me your reason
Thanks

*quote from my thread
Galaxy Nexus is the BEST!!
both from samsung, and gs3 is newer so take that one. But use the standard ics rom.
Yeah I just got off the horn with Samsung, he's a pretty cool guy. He said the SIII is way better.
SGS 3 is much better ....
I say just buy the nexus, as soon as the SGS3's launched there'll be another phone coming, you'll be waiting forever
Galaxy S III much better...
Galaxy S III!!!
I personally think the SGS VI will blow both of these out of the water...
Love the idiots that recommend a phone that doesn't exist yet or have confirmed specs released for it...
I have a galaxy nexus. It's my first smartphone and I think it works really well. If you can wait for an unannounced Galaxy SIII then by all means, but when will you stop waiting?
Galaxy SIII
i think that the Galaxy s3 is better in my opinion, the nexus wasnt even up to the same as par as the Galaxy s2 lol
Depends on if you want to wait, the SGSIII isn't even technically an announced phone yet if I remember correctly so we're looking at least 2 months plus before a release I'm sure.
Gnexus i think...agree with the other that sgs3 not even release yet.

I guess you want the nexus because it has jb right?
The next nexus will be much better, I'm also looking forward to it..
Swyped from my GT-i9100
If it's for JB, Sammy's already stated they're working on it for the S2 and S3. Obviously that could take quite a while knowing their reputation but CM10 will come to save the day. So you're not missing out with the S2. Not to mention the nexus hardware is a teeny bit outdated at the moment, you'll notice it. Personally, Id stick with the S2. It really is the better phone. Hope I helped
the Galaxy note 2 should be out shortly and that phone is going to be a BEAST.
I also have a galaxy s2 that I'm planning on selling but was thinking about keeping as a secondary and just dropping my insurance.
The plus is that you can probably get about $250 for the Galaxy s2 with your accessories if you sell now.

I would only get a nexus if you wanted vanilla android right out the box. Personally, I think the S2 is the better phone. Better processor, camera, and it has an SD card slot.
The one thing I love about the nexus is the notification light being in the same location as the nexus one ..not a big deal but still kinda cool..
If You are Developer - only Nexus

From the introducing of Nexus brand by Google it became the phone of Developer.
I bought one in 2010 and am using it today.
I know that it is too old, but I love it.
My opinion - to get Nexus.
(maybe wait the the next model)
I'm thinking the same. I'm using SGS2 T989 now and really like pure Android OS. I'll wait for the next Google phone. In the meantime, I'll just wait for CM9/10 to be stable enough for my T989
Wait
Probably a good idea to wait for the next Nexus phone, maybe from Motorola this time?
Are you upgrading for the sake of upgrading or do you have a real need? I'm personally going to skip this generation as I see no need for a new phone
Im aggree with ez2.. Galaxy note 2 best!!
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk 2
I have finally decided that I need to get a better phone, since allot of phones are getting these new hardware such as NFC and all the new bells and whistles. The SGS4G community taught me allot, because they are helpful even though they can be rough on the edges. I might also be planning to sell my phone but not anytime soon but defnitely in a month or two. I'm planning ahead so I don't get all panicked when I pick a new phone. Also if you are interested on buying my phone please contact me, we shall discuss about the price. (Includes Otter box casing for protection, optional but I can give you the unlock code if you have a different carrier, I can pre-install ICS Google AOSP (from Erikmm) or stock Gingerbread with or without root)
Which next Samsung phone should I get?
I could ask on their forums yes but I want the opinion of the people here in my community. I am thinking of either getting the Galaxy Nexus or the Galaxy S III, but I can't decide, each phone has their pro's and con's.
If I get Galaxy Nexus I get direct updates from Google without Samsung/T-Mobile holding firmwares at bay. However if I get GS3 I get ton's of features extending from hardware to exclusive applications.
So please answer it below, you can suggest another brand phone but I highly doubt I'll get it.
The galaxy s 3 is without a doubt the best phone out there right now.
People will argue that the nexus is better because it gets updates faster. Yes, the galaxy nexus will get software updates directly from Google but software can only go so far and the hardware is almost a year old. The s3 has a huge development community so expect to get the latest android version with all the top roms (cm10 aokp miui paranoid android) on it.
If you're willing to wait, get the new nexus or the galaxy note 2.
If you are planning some months ahead then by that time there will be newer phone than the GS3. Which is the best phone now, but just now. That could change easily with the Note or a new Nexus.

They are already talking about a galaxy s 4.
http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/world/...a-5-inch-screen-one-inch-bigger-than-iphone-5
Getting a new phone now is pretty dumb. Waiting til later this year or even the beginning of next year to hop on a quad core s4 or exynos is the ideal thing to do. I'm talking the s4 pro with the new architecture by the way. You'll also get the new adreno gpu or what Sammy offers depending on what device you choose. For instance many signs are pointing to that new LG Optimus G being a nexus device. That would be a gigantic leap from the sgs4g, even more so than the gsiii, by a lot. I'm just advising that you wait it out a couple more months cus it'll be worth it

Take a look at Tmobs website. You can get an S3 16GB for 99 bucks or the 32GB for 149. It's a pretty damn good phone and at that price you can just sell it when the S4 finally hit the US a year from now. If your not under contract and have some cash to throw at it get the international version.

Yeah I'm not under a contract :\ I might as well get it on a contract cause I definitely don't have 589.98 dollars lying around LOL. I might get the 16 GB version since I don't really put stuff in my phone, everything is in the cloud except for my music. I also have my old 16 GB card that came along with my SGS4G. So I might get a contract to get a lowered price.

Well I did say if you have some cash. lol Not being under contract opens up your options quite a bit though. I switched over to ATT about a year ago cause TMOB where I live sucks. I just unlocked my 4G and used it for a few months. When the Skyrocket came out I was able to score a refurbished one for 10 bucks with a new 2 year plan. The thing is if your a good costumer you can get that same deal again in about a year. You'll have to talk to upper level CS but they always will do it. Not sure if the same thing works with TMOB or Verizon.
